I had no idea Stars and Stripes’ involvement in this final arc would end up being so important to Shigaraki’s potential downfall. I feel like I would have appreciated this more if she had a better setup. Don’t get me wrong, she dominated the screen and became a favorite of many fans for a limited time. But it’s a bit strange that this plan concocted throughout the plot would arguably not have been possible without the damage she inflicted on the main villain. Regarding this setting, I always feel that this is one of the more obvious directions. my hero academia Its final conflict must be resolved. All For One has been completely resolved, so now all that’s left is for Deku to defeat Shigaraki. It’s interesting that Shigaraki wanted to tear everything apart, but the ultimate plan all the Oneness Heirs had was to give Shigaraki something. Granted, they give Shigaraki something by beating him violently.
Deku doesn’t want to fight, and Shigaraki knows that. He was almost seduced and was annoyed that Deku didn’t try to kill him. This is because Shigaraki sees these heroic ideals as cosmetic, so there may be a part of him that thinks Deku can get down to his level if he tries hard enough, but the thing about Deku is that he doesn’t break down. He’s not strong because he has all these powers; he’s strong because he embodies the indomitable heroic spirit. The previous One Move holders basically said it would be much easier if they just killed Shigaraki in one blow, but that’s what Shigaraki wanted. Everyone else saw a monster, but Deku couldn’t shake the sight of the crying child.
What’s particularly poignant is that we see Nana make the decision to get rid of Shigaraki, considering it’s her own flesh and blood. Part of this determination, however, may be guilt, for which the deceased could easily bear responsibility. At the end of the day, Deku still needed to take action, so I’m glad that despite everyone’s reservations about saving Shigaraki, it was Deku who ultimately made the decision.
What I find so interesting about this story is that because the previous founders were old, frightened men who couldn’t do anything but mentor Deku, the story actually gave them a means to directly fight back against Shigaraki from the inside out. This setting should complete the narrative. Deku started his journey by inheriting a power he wasn’t born with, and now he’s technically giving back the power to save someone. In a lot of ways, he’s sacrificing his dreams, and I’d be happy if the show focused more on that sacrifice he’s making, but then again, staying too long might do the character a disservice. The point is that he will make sacrifices that others will not make. He’s shown from the beginning that you don’t need powers to be a hero, and what better way for him to prove that than by giving up the most powerful force in the entire show.
